The ISS accelerometers meassure zero. Because all the components are subjected to exactly the same forces. An accelerometer can only measure the difference in the forces applied to different parts of the accelerometer. Typically an accelerometer uses 2 major components, a 'fixed' body and a sprung mass. The acceleration is calculated as the difference in location between the body and the sprung mass. If both of them are subjected to the same force then they don't sense any acceleration.
